Ingredients

1 pie crust 9-inch, homemade or store-bought
2 cups pecans shelled, coarsely chopped
¾ cup chocolate chips semi-sweet or dark
¾ cup pure maple syrup
¾ cup brown sugar dark
3 large eggs
5 Tbsp. butter melted and cooled
1 tsp. vanilla
¼ tsp. salt
¾ tsp. cinnamon

Serving:

Whipped cream
Additional chocolate chips

Instructions

If you're not using a store-bought crust, follow the directions to make this homemade pie crust.
1 pie crust
Place the prepared dough into a 9-inch glass or ceramic pie plate. Crimp the edges decoratively and refrigerate while preparing the filling.
Add the pecans to the bottom of the pie crust in a single layer and sprinkle the chocolate chips over the pecans.
2 cups pecans, ¾ cup chocolate chips
Whisk together the maple syrup, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl and then pour it evenly over the nuts and chips.
¾ cup pure maple syrup, ¾ cup brown sugar, 5 Tbsp. butter, 1 tsp. vanilla, ¼ tsp. salt, ¾ tsp. cinnamon, 3 large eggs
Bake the pie at 350 for 50-60 minutes, or until the middle no longer jiggles. If the edges of the pie crust are beginning to brown, place a pie crust shield on top after 20-30 minutes. Additionally, if the top is browning too quickly, carefully place a piece of aluminum foil over the top to prevent it from burning.
Place the baked pie on a wire rack to cool completely before serving. The filling will continue to set, so it is important that you do not cut into it too soon.
Serve pie with a dollop of whipped cream and additional chocolate shavings or chocolate chips. Enjoy!

Meal Prep and Storage

To Prep-Ahead: Make the pie dough and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days in advance. Take it out 30 minutes before rolling so that it's easier to work with.
To Store: The pie will keep for up to 2 hours at room temperature or up to 4-5 days in the refrigerator.
To Freeze: Wrap the pie or individual slices in wax paper and seal in a freezer-safe container for up to 3-4 months.
To Reheat: Defrost in the refrigerator, then bake in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes. You can also pop refrigerated slices in the microwave for 10-20 seconds.
